Anyone else run with their swap file disabled? I haven't tried this for years. But after running a certain feline themed benchmark yesterday it suggested that my > than 12GB swap file should be reduced in size.

This got me thinking, hey! I just upgraded from 4 to 8 GB's of ram so why not turn it off altogether? So far so good for me. I don't have an SSD so I figure it's the next best thing I can do to avoid disk swapping in games. I haven't tested in games yet but benchmarking seemed to work well.

I don't run with a swap file and it works well 99% of the time. Windows is nice enough to warn you when you are running out of memory though so its usually just annoying that you ran out vs catastrophic. I have 32gb in my desktop, and i do run close to capacity when i am working. Never come even close when i game.

Yeah, I just game and surf with this rig. I did a bit of modded Oblivion. Still seems to hit the drive hard though. But thats the game not the OS. I guess an SSD is my only option. Get rid of this decade old tech.

I disabled mine when I upgraded to 16gb of ram. Hell even with a 4gb ramdisk (Still havent figured out exactly what im going to do with it yet) and still have 4gb to play with. Zero issues up to this point.
